Device Provided with Plurality of Makeup Elements

ABSTRACT

The invention relates to a makeup device comprising a housing  10  provided with a marker face  15  and a plurality of makeup elements  11, 12, 13  permanently secured in said housing  10  and projecting from said marker face  15,  the housing acting as a handle. In addition, the marker ends of the makeup elements are coplanar.

The present invention relates to a device provided with a plurality ofmakeup elements.

The field of the invention is that of makeup, more particularly whenused on the occasion of a sporting or festive event.

When attending a football match, for example, it is a very popularpractice to make up the face. The makeup is generally in the form of aplurality of parallel stripes. The various colors are then those of thefootball club being supported.

To apply such makeup, it is necessary to have one makeup element percolor. It is also necessary to be highly skilled in order to produce apennant that is regular with all of its stripes being parallel andhaving the same length.

A first object of the present invention is thus to provide a very simpledevice enabling a pennant to be made very quickly without requiringgreat dexterity.

According to the invention, the device comprises a housing provided witha marker face and a plurality of makeup elements secured permanently inthe housing and projecting from the marker face, the housing acting as ahandle; in addition, the marker ends of the marking elements arecoplanar.

It is then very simple to mark a pennant, merely by moving the housingin translation over the skin.

The device preferably includes a protective cap that comes into contactwith the marker face.

Furthermore, the device is designed to be suitable for use in groundswhere any article that might lead to injury is banned. It shouldtherefore be relatively light in weight.

Advantageously, the housing of the device is constituted by a rigidsynthetic foam, e.g. ethylene vinyl acetate.

Furthermore, such makeup is often applied blind, to the user's own facewithout a mirror being available.

A second object of the present invention is thus to identify thepositions of the makeup elements in the housing.

According to the invention, the housing of the makeup device isasymmetrical.

In a preferred embodiment, the makeup elements are juxtaposed in aplane.

A makeup element may be constituted, in particular:

-   -   by a makeup pencil; or    -   by an ink-impregnated wick.

In a first embodiment, the makeup elements are adhesively bonded insuitable orifices in the housing.

In a second embodiment, the housing is injected around the makeupelements.

In a third embodiment, the makeup elements are made by being injected inorifices of the housing.

The present invention can be understood in greater detail from thefollowing description of embodiments given by way of illustration andreferring to the sole accompanying figure which is a perspective viewsof a makeup device.

The makeup device essentially constitutes a housing 10 that is notdangerous, that does not have any sharp angles. The housing should beeasy to hold in the hand, so its shape is similar to that of a bar ofsoap or an electric razor.

A plurality of makeup elements are placed in the housing 10, there beingthree makeup elements 11, 12, and 13 in the example shown. Theseexamples are preferably juxtaposed so that their axes lie in a commonplane. Each defines a retention end and a marker end. The retention endis inside the housing 10, while the marker end is the end used forapplying the makeup. The marker ends of the makeup elements 11, 12, and13 thus project from the top face 15 of the housing, i.e. its markerface, which face is substantially plane.

Naturally, in order to enable all of the makeup elements to be usedsimultaneously, their marker ends need to be coplanar.

The makeup elements 11, 12, and 13 are either makeup pencils or elsewicks impregnated with cosmetic ink.

The housing is asymmetrical, i.e. its width and its length aredifferent, assuming that its height is the dimension defined by the axesof the makeup elements 11, 12, and 13. Thus, when the housing is held inthe hand close to the face, it can be oriented in such a manner as toensure that the three stripes of color are in a desired configuration.

For reasons of convenience, a protective cap 17 is provided to engage onthe housing 10 in contact with its top face 15.

The housing is preferably made of a material that is lightweight and/ortransparent.

In a first embodiment, orifices are machined in a solid housing intowhich the makeup elements 11, 12, and 13 can be inserted and adhesivelybonded.

In a second embodiment, the makeup elements are placed in a mold havingthe shape of the housing 10, and a rigid synthetic foam such as ethylenevinyl acetate (EVA) is injected into the mold.

In a third embodiment, the makeup elements are made by being injectedinto orifices of the housing 10, which orifices are the result of thehousing itself being molded.

The embodiments of the invention described above are selected because oftheir practical nature.

Nevertheless, it is not possible to list exhaustively all embodimentscovered by the invention. In particular, any means descried above can bereplaced by equivalent means without going beyond the ambit of thepresent invention.
